Finishitis

It seems a wet bank holiday weekend with no real plans means a case of "Finishitis" has taken hold.First up - Stashbuster Spirals in a combination of Yarn Yard and Lorna's laces.You can definitely see lines where I changed yarn, but this may even out when worn. I would try, but they are too small for me!Next, my first sewn garment made for me! This is a Simplicity pattern, number 4589.Mainly a product of my sewing class, however I did spend yesterday putting the sleeves in all by myself. I hope my teacher is proud!What's more, it fits and is really comfortable. I may make more if I can find some more cute prints for the summer.Next up is another sock - this is called Summer Chevron until I come up with something better.I wanted a lacy chevron pattern to go with this self-striping Online Supersocke I bought in Toronto last September. I thought that theyarn was so summery that it needed some yarn overs! I looked in my Jan Eaton Ripple Pattern book and came up with this. What do you think?I've saved the best until last.... my Swallowtail shawl is finished and blocking as we speak.

Made in Posh yarn Eva 2ply laceweight. I'll save more photos for when it is dry and I can do it justice!Now, what to cast on next.... hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Oh my oh my! So much loveliness in one post! I LOVE your top - it fits you so well and you look so pretty in it - definitely your colour! And then the chevron socks - yum! That is such a happy colourway! Fantastic, Roo!
